here is a list of words that may or may not describe me:self-indulgent, coquettish, salacious, intelligent, slightly misanthropic, careful (in most senses of that word), emotionally stable.

here is a list of sentences that may or may not give you insight into my personality:I think that the floor is an awesome place to store things. I never miss an opportunity to learn something new. I dig words and languages. I geek out over cheesy power metal songs. I have a lot of esoteric knowledge, but I'm always happy to teach and involve others who are interested. I think that one of the keys to life is knowing how to be happy when you're alone. I used to have a cat named Baron von FuzzyCuddles. I get upset when there are widows in my blog entries. I don't like to use capital letters in my internet voice, except for proper nouns. sorry if this bothers you.

What I’m doing with my life

I spend most of my time eating candy and going to R-rated movies.

I work in a nightclub, so if you're the type who doesn't like "clubbing" or "getting super wasted and then having an emotional breakdown", we probably won't get along.

I’m really good at

brushing and flossing my teeth before bed no matter how wasted I am.

The first things people usually notice about me

well, if I have my hair up it can be seen from across a crowded room, so maybe that. if I have it down—or am wearing a wig—perhaps it'll be my copious amounts of eye make-up.

Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food

A) Hermann Hesse's Demian is probably my favorite book ever. The Last Unicorn is another eternal favorite. Banana Yoshimoto and Moto Hagio are amazing. I read a lot of Lovecraft because I like feeling unsettled.

B) I am very fond of horror movies, even (especially?) terrible ones. Some of my favorites are Re-Animator, Repo! The Genetic Opera, The Devil's Carnival, House of the Devil, Hellraiser (1 and 2 only), Cabin in the Woods, The Orphanage, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Nightmare on Elm Street (1 and 3), Friday the 13th (1 and 2), Halloween (1 and 2, and remake), The Evil Dead trilogy, Alien, Aliens, Videodrome, House on Haunted Hill (original), Severance, Trick or Treat, Trick 'r Treat (yes, those are two different films, and they're both great.)

non-horror favorites include Wayne's World (1 and 2), Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Robin Hood: Men in Tights (I love everything from Mel Brooks, but this one holds a special place in my heart), most of Tim Burton's stuff from the 80s/early 90s, ANVIL! The Story of Anvil (they even wrote a song for me via Twitter), Dead Man, Naked Lunch, Trollhunter, M, Brand Upon the Brain!, Mad Max, Escape From New York, Blade Runner, This is Spinal Tap, The Room (I like this movie unironically)

C) I mostly listen to metal, particularly power metal, traditional heavy metal, black metal, and progressive metal. I do like a lot of music from other genres, but I tend to not actively seek them out.

D) pretty much anything but cow's milk products and tomatoes (I'm allergic). I lean towards Japanese, Thai, and big sandwiches. I would live off of candy if that wasn't a really, really, really bad idea.

I think the only food I actively dislike is celery. celery can go fuck itself.

I live with a chronic disease that has given me faint scars over my entire body, and sometimes puts me in so much pain that I can't walk. it's mostly under control, though. this is not an invitation for you to message me asking about it. I'd prefer not to discuss it with strangers, and if you see me in person with marks on my skin, just keep your damn mouth shut about it.

I have a severe topical allergy to coconut oil, which is in a lot of cosmetics and lip balms. if you use products that contain coconut oil, I cannot have physical contact with you. I am not even remotely joking about this.
